the log on old soviet tanks was for unsticking it, you would chain it to the tracks and run it so that it would drag the log underneath the tank and either dig in or get traction on the log to pull itself out
This
Old Mark IVs would have that sort of thing too. It's been a part of tanks since the beginning.
Why it's mounted on struts like a spoiler on the Object 268 is a mystery though. Odd that they wouldn't just strap it to the side like so many other Russian vehicles.
In the bogs of Russia they couldn't field dedicated tow vehicles in fear that they would get bogged down too. So they just gave every crew a log to free the tank from the mud a cheap and efficient way of fixing a complicated problem. Some russian tanks today still carry those logs nowadays too because why change a winning strategy?
@@zebaguettefromfrance1287 " log to free tank from the mud" you mean a free log
About the ATGM rapidly maneuvering they nerfed it a lot so it’s more realistic since beforehand as you saw you could make ludicrous last second changes. ATGMs now take a bit to reposition when you change targets. Though there are some irl that can do short rapid changes after firing like Swingfire.
Can’t find the thing to edit my message but if you happen to see this Paul? (Not the best at remembering names sorry if I got it wrong) do you take vid recommendations from the comments at all? If so there’s a neat DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) cinematic called ELI 21 which follows a SEAD mission. Thought maybe you’d enjoy it.
i call bullshit on that, it doesnt seem like the bmp's are having any problems doing last second changes
The Hydra is a US multiple unguided rocket system usually mounted on helicopters but occasionally coopted for Technical rocket artillery
The log is there on Russian tanks to act as additional traction to aid in getting out of mud/sand/ low traction areas. The log would be inserted under the tracks where it would provide a solid surface for the tank to grip into and ride on
Apparently we've made a laser-guided version of that, and it's not even very expensive. Naturally, it was too cheap, and too good, so it got cancelled because it wasn't profitable enough and/or people in congress don't know a good idea when it hits them in the face (both are probably somewhat true).
I hate politics. I wish it was all merit-based. Good ideas would prosper, less good ideas would fall by the wayside. And you know what, war itself isn't a particularly good idea, now that I think of it.
And I'd be able to do something about it too, if I had the ability to sway more votes to my side while not myself seeking political office.
@@44R0Ndin If congress could recognize promise, the US would be fielding a fleet of Commanche's by now
One of the Magachs got it and a sht ton of vietnam-modern era jets have it
29:40 he wasnt firing a tank shell, he was firing an atgm some russian tanks have the capability to fire atgms from the barrel.(also you should watch war stories by oddbawz)
And some American tanks, M551 for instance.
Though to be fair, IIRC the M1 Abrams IRL has anti-helicopter capability. The targeting system has an anti-helicopter mode and the M830A1 MPAT is designed so that it can be used as a flak round.
It's still doable to an unmanouvering heli if you have lazer range finder
the problem with the russian gun launched atgms, they IRL cost the same as the tank. but you see people playing russia with T tanks who are running a full load of the 115-125mm atgms. its ridiculous.
@@AnikaJarlsdottr didn't they like historical only carry like two of them at any given time if they were lucky enough to have them at all?
"That's not how a real life tank shell operates"
Yeah that's fine, but that's not a shell. That's a missile, fired from the tank barrel. The Russian tanks have that. Like what we tried with the M551 Sheridan, but in a state that firing the main gun with shells doesn't actually damage the gun barrel irreparably in short order. It's a gun first, missile launcher second.
That’s awesome
There was a god dam Legend of a a man who shot down a plane with a tank shell in ww2
@@snakeinabox7220 I mean that probably happened as well, but with how slow tanks are to aim their main gun IRL (with any semblance of accuracy at least) it was probably a fortunate coincidence of the incoming aircraft's attack run lining up more or less with where the cannon was already aiming, as well as the tank likely already having HE loaded.
So, does that tank crew deserve a medal? ABSOLUTELY! But was it skill? Some amount of skill was required, but luck did most of the heavy lifting.
@@44R0Ndin if the stars aligh for that to happend. I shall all it skill for no oredenry tank crew chold have done it.
@@44R0Ndin The Tiger's main gun (the 88mm one) was actually a repurposed AA cannon. Big, clunky gun isn't that much of an issue when you can see and hear planes dozens of miles away, and likely a few whole minutes before they can actually tell that your boxy shape is actually a live tank. You do only get one shot, but that's why the cannon has a high velocity and you make absolutely sure you have the shot lined up before you fire.
I would argue Gaijin doesn't know absolutely everything because there was a tank in the British tech tree titled Challenger that was so inaccurate that a man who fought in the Royal Army was arrested for releasing classified documents about the tank so Gaijin can correct their Challenger.
What's funny is this isn't a one-time thing either. It also happened with the French Leclerc tank, and literally just a few days ago someone leaked classified info on an experimental Chinese tank round
All of this has happened in the past year btw.
Lads, there’s been more
@@alicetheaxolotl they did it again, but with the F16-A
@@allancoelho6905 did it again with the Su-57 and a chinese jet
@@two6370 wait, they did it more than 5 times?
I remember the challenger 2, the chinese APFSDS, the Leclerc, now there's the F16A and you're telling me they did it 2 more times?
Gaijin, of all companies, would be the best candidate to know Russian doctrine before the rest of us, considering it began, and largely still is, a Russian game development company. They’re primarily based in Budapest now, but for a while they were actually based in Moscow. It is not out of the question that multiple Gaijin devs used to be in the Russian military, and would know this kind of info.
because they were in moscow, I doubt it. There are very little amount of orcs from there it seems. Most of the killed and captured invaders in Ukraine still were from occupied regions or empowerished nations from inside the fedaration. The moscow gives orders and sends slaves to war. To live in moscow and serve you have to be very stupid or very poor to not be able to avoid serving in their murderlitary
@@mechadrake I never said it was likely, I just said it wasn’t out of the question.
And remember the many classified documents that were leaked by actual military personnel to win a argument
@@The_Blyatman Well there's a possibility so it might be the case with how some game devs know certain military doctrines, especially Russian tactical doctrines
I see Paul is now on the run after giving out insurgency tips
He's hiding out at the edge of the backrooms
Believe me, the first thing i said to myself when i saw the intro is "Is he in a fucking bunker or a basement ?"
@@oguzoz2752 uh, why is that?
Reminds me of when someone was interviewing a Bradley crewman about the Bradley while he was using one in War Thunder. He was absolutely annihilating everyone like shooting fish in a barrel while explaining the tactics he was using.
is there a link to that somewhere?
ayo link us up

About the whole "Just chuck bodies at the enemy till they die" thing. That was a legit medieval strategy used by armies. They would literally throw rotten and/or diseased corpses over the target's city wall in order to try spread those diseases to the enemy army via civilians.
it worked when there was an infection spreding. Some nasty virusas or bateria. Despite the medieval thining, dead bodies by themselves do not spread infection (miasma theory was wrong)
It also seems to be readopted by the Russians as Putin knowingly sends many soldiers into a meat grinder in order to whittle down Ukraine’s ammunition.
34:23 You'd be surprised but helicopters can fight jets. The J-CATCH program conducted by the airforce and the army in 1978 revealed that properly employed gunships will rack up a 5-to-1 kill ratio over fighters. Main lesson learned was that pilots must keep their distance and should only engage them at long range with missiles
Fun fact, heartbeat sensors are (possibly) real. They're very case specific and the use i heard for them were they real was for counterterror hostage operations in buildings with no moving water to determine the locations of people in the building.
Rather than detecting a heartbeat per se it was magnetically tuned to the movement of blood (which is mostly water, hence why the building must not have moving water interference),
Its like a supercomplicated version of holding two metal l-rods in your hand ti find underground moving water by watching for them to move due to the magnetic field.
As long as theres not much interference it could be used for hundreds of meters, with alot of interference it could barely work at 1.
So you're telling me that, hypothetically speaking, a terrorist could take a biohazard level shit and him flushing the toilet could interfere with the heartbeat sensors (so long as he keeps flushing)?
@@MultiNaruto900 in his immediate vicinity, yes.
Theyd probably cut the water to the building if they could though, so itd only flush a few times.
Heatbeat sensors/monitors are also used to find people under rubble and debris if for example a hiuse caved in
Does the two metal rods thing actually work?
@@maryjoygelizon4268 yep, as long as the water is flowing fast or isnt too deep (or its not in copper piping or somesuch that acts like a farraday cage).
Theres some tricks to it, but you can look it up, it works.
37:03 Tanks have logs on them so that if it gets stuck in the mud, they can put it under the tracks to get some traction.
I prefer Russian spoiler
It also works as a chock block for parking on slopes.
On the heartbeat topic: "Jetson, as the US military's new device is called, uses laser vibrometry (non-contact vibration measurements) to detect surface movement caused by a person's heartbeat." from an article in 2019 :D
There ARE “armor piercing incendiary tracer rounds” those are only able to be placed on .50 cal or bigger
I don't think that's allowed, even for AT purposes.
It's a crime, or a warcrime, no matter how you use that ammunition.
Didn't demo ranch shoot a piano with one of those
I've got the Armor Piercing Incendiary rounds. Though I went without tracer.
@@alicorn3924 how? its not an AA gun which is the only machine guns that are banned from shooting at infantry let alone tanks
Small correction: g forces are related to acceleration not velocity. Acceleration or deceleration are the product of changing the magnitude or direction of your velocity. So you velocity could stay the same but turning at that velocity, ignoring inertial effects, changes your acceleration and thus the g forces you are under. Think race car drivers locked into their seats going around tight turns.
Basically in layman's terms velocity is the rate at which speed is gained while acceleration is the increase of speed.
@@gidi3250 close but velocity is your speed(+ direction) at any given instant, acceleration/deceleration is how that velocity changes with respect to time from one instant to another. Now remember that accel/deceleration is any change in velocity’s magnitude (70 up to 80 mph) OR direction (like cranking the wheel hard left going 70 mph) basically any change in velocity.
yea i got that but Gforce has relation with velocity and thats how i calculated Gforce in the centrefugal force THEY USE VELOCITY ALOT like ALOT
@@DannL18 Yea you got a point
@@gidi3250 The pushing you feel? It is accel.
Man, I'm a civilian, and with the tactical pointers Paul is giving out, watching the Russian front in Ukraine is embarrassing, even from my standpoint.
9:00 I saw footage of an artillery emplacement that was supposed to be used for ground targets take out a Russian helicopter that was flying low.
Intended or not, artillery ammo is rather large,so wether its a building or a heli its going to be in pieces after a single round (not aways though, some buildings that are large or in the ground may survive one or maybe a few artillery rounds)
@@thejuggercat Oh it was intended alright, you could here them freaking out as they tried to quickly line up the shot as the Heli noticed their position.
@@hiddendesire3076 some times the best strategy while in desperate conditions is to do things the "wrong" way i guess.
I mean i doubt they would train a group of people on How to hit an active heli with artillery.
Is the video you referring to about Stugna destroyed Ka-52?
As someone once said - "Where the military is concerned, if you're in a fair fight? Someone's fucked up."
hannibal:"nah bro. Just wanna have a good fair fight."
I am one again asking for your attention. I think it should be directed at some videos about a new game for the channel, known as Foxhole. Specifically, the War 83 video series by Moidawg. The game features player driven logistics and planning across a large front in a PvP environment, and Moidawg's videos provide a new player perspective and a narration that provides good context and explanations for the events that are unfolding throughout the series.
Side note, in regards to the name chopper, while I have never heard that term on the flight deck, I have heard "hummer" as the term for prop-driven fixed wings, primarily Hawkeyes. For example, "Heads up in the L.A., hummer on the roll!" or the reference to two separate spots on the flight deck being called a hummer hole (one forward, one aft) due to the fact Hawkeyes are usually parked there.
That would be so cool. I realy hope he sees your comment.
Once more
I agree with this statement foxhole is an amazing game.
+1 Vote for Foxhole!
What we really need to do to make the most accurate TOW missile known to man is put a helmet on a chicken with a system-linked copper wire guidance system, so that when the chicken's head remains perfectly steady, it sinks bullseyes everytime.
You joke, but the US military did try training chickens to pilot missiles/rockets. They trained them to peck at a screen with marked "targets" to get seeds.
Once trained, they would fly by pecking at the screen until impact. For America.
Edit: it wasn't chickens, it was pigeons. It was for WWII and it was called Project Pigeon. They cancelled it, despite the birds being incredibly accurate and stable in flight, because they were worried about how the potential public outrage at putting animals on suicide bombing runs.
13:12 a TOW missile will do that, as despite being “guided” it’s manually controlled AKA wire guided. Being steered by the pilot it can be moved at will
War thunder is really an impressive game. They are able to cram so many weapon systems into a coherent gameplay arena with a fairly high respect of the realistic elements for those weapons. Different vehecles' armours ,weapons, munitions, subsystems, guidance methods, electronics for tanks, planes, ships, and helicopters.
Apart from it isn't going to be fun to play without buying a premium, and the gamemode itself feels pretty repetitive, War Thunder is really an extraordinary military sim game.
37:10 Log is for vehicle saving purposes, though it's usually on lighter stuff like BMPs, not tanks.
The missiles he was using in the Helicopter was like a TOW missile(or wire guided) where instead of being lock on its where you are manually aiming it/the missle goes wherever your looking.
Even TOW missiles have limits on their maneuverability.
"A tank shell isn't gonna travel like that."
Yeah, that's not a tank shell.
That is a main-gun fired guided anti-air missile.
Or, I guess, an anti-everything missile?
It'll definitely kill a tank if you hit it with one.
Yea But the Composite Is a really big help
ATGM. Anti-Tank-Guided-Missile
37:12 The reason why Russian and Soviet tanks have logs on them is because often the tanks would get stuck in mud. so to get the tank out, they would take the log and jam it under the tank track so that the tank had something to grip and drive out of the mud
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." The state, may ask for the militia for help not the federal gonverment also the federal gonverment wasn't supposed to own the current power it has and people are to stupid now to understand what the 2nd amendment means now it's honestly sad
It's heartbreaking, really, to hear what he says starting at 1:00.
Thought that was the whole point? Was to fight potential domestic tyranny if necessary? Thing is overthrowing the government at that point is the goal, legality be damned.
About Russian helicopter doctrine being ineffective - what was the last time US aircraft performed in areas with modern Anti-air systems?
0:59 Technically, the National Guard is the closest thing the US has to a militia. When the 2nd Amendment was written, the US was just a fledgling country with no standing army. Thus it's entire military strength depended on the common folk getting together and forming a militia to fend off potential invaders. THAT, more or less, is what the 2nd Amendment is meant for.
The National Guard is essentially the military of the states, the militia is essentially any civilian capable of fighting.
@@caderiddle5996 Emphasis on 'closest'. Nowadays, the US doesn't need a militia because we have a standing army and groups like the National Guard to take care of things on the homefront.
As someone who lives in the US and bothered to actually READ said amendment, there is NOTHING in there about it being about fending off invaders. It mentions security of a free STATE. The 'state' in this context is not the US as a whole, but the individual state in question. It's straight up an enshrined permission for a given state to give the finger against outside manipulation via forming their own local military powers.
Do keep in mind, the constitution and first ten amendments were written by people who had just finished with fighting the brits over tyrannical actions. There's quite a few places throughout the majority of legal documents and personal journals of the time that make it very clear that the federal government was supposed to be VERY limited in power, acting more as an overall coordinator and facilitator of communications between states, than the dictator of how state-level governance and laws are allowed to work. Of course, that falls apart within a few generations as the federal government starts grabbing for power.
Or to be more blunt:There is a reason the entirety of the 10th amendment is an explicit statement that outside of what was explicitly accorded to the federal government as it's domain, the federal government legally was not supposed to have any power. It is very explicit that state level laws are higher priority than federal, with the exception of certain things outlined in other sections of the constitution.
This is why the lack of education in the US is so goddamned heartbreaking.
@@jtnachos16 It's definitely one of the better ways of controlling the masses, having them not being particularly educated. If they think then they become harder to control as they start questioning the status quo.
The other thing is keeping certain bits of information out of their hands and/or out of sight. Which is what censorship is meant to do, among other things. Thankfully that is harder to do with the Internet around but those up high that wish to exploit power for personal gain are certainly trying their hardest with getting around that.
@@jtnachos16 Yes, the very tyrannical British action of "we just fought a war to get you Ohio, we're gonna tax tea to help pay off our war debts."
Polish to the rescue, russian tanks used to have logs or barrels on the back of them because they still got stuck in mud at times so what you did was attach the log from front to your tracks and press on gass as the tracks move the log move the vechicle from the mud but sometimes it got stuck more deppending on the terrain. same stuff goes with barrels on the back.
barrels where full of diesel fuel
I would be curious to see Paul react to the Expanse show, the extreme flight/combat scenes in space where pilots get hooked up to this whole apparatus to support themselves in extreme speeds.
The log is used to help tanks gain traction in muddy terrain by latching teh log to the tracks, infact this is a far more common practice than some people think as even the US and Germany strapped logs to the tanks for this scenario of course its not needed in some urban environments but anywhere where there is a severe lack of paved roads, it was needed.
37:00 when the snow melts the ground gets very muddy, and because the russians dont believe in support craft, the logs help unstuck the tanks and having the crew do it is totally faster and more effective
Yes, that was an excellent video! Thanks for sharing it. There's a ton of war thunder from Badger, or Arma 3 or Squad from guys like Karmakut and OperatorDrewski that I'd love to see from you. It's great getting a look at gameplay like that with commentary from someone genuinely or even peripherally knowledgable about combat scenarios.
It’s literally framed in the Declaration of Independence that we have the right to overthrow the government if we believe it’s necessary. So technically not illegal I mean that’s how we became our own country.
Amen. It's heartbreaking, really, to hear what he says starting at 1:00. By his standards, we should return to being under England's rule, because our revolt was illegal. 🙄
"Helicopters cannot fight jets."
The Army helo pilots of J-CATCH Phase III want to know your location.
With the realism part of the game that applies mostly to their damage modeling (very in depth but sometimes glitches). The modeling of the vehicles are also included in this as apfsds shots to the side of a tank may just pass through and not kill enough crew or vital components to actually knock the enemy vehicle out. The "volumetric" shells make it so gun port shots have to truly be extremely precise while also turret neck shots are much harder to pull off due to this factor. They also appear to have things such as over pressure kill the crew (HE to lightly armored areas that only partially penetrate but overpressure nearby crew.
My medicinal SdKfz 220 is to help with my depression.
It is also recreational.
there's a great series that was on youtube a couple years ago, it was by the history channel I believe. I think it was called "epic dogfights of history" and it covered some of the technological leaps and capabilities of various aircraft through history as well as the innovation and pilots who flew them.
The Helicopters ingame now have stuff like AIM-9Ls, Starstreak, ATAS Stingers, Mistrals, 9M39 Iglas, R-60s etc etc
the logs are actually just for rough terrain spots that the tracks might otherwise get stuck in
You mentioned wanting simple, decisive plans. Reminded me of my favorite Isaac Arthur quite: "If brute force isn't working, you aren't using enough of it."
37:05 Russian tanks carry logs to get out of the mud. There is literally a "mud season" in Russia and all their tanks get hella bogged down in it. So, to remedy this, they carry logs OR sometimes these HUGE blankets to tuck under the tracks so the tanks can get out of the mud. I think they're literally called traction blankets. Could be wrong though.
37:05 its so that if the tank gets stuck in lets say deep mud the crew can get out and place the logs on the ground under the treads and the tank can grip onto the logs and use those to crawl out of the mud
Heart beat sensors are indeed real. Just not a radar like in CoD.
A laser can be used to identify someone by heartbeat, US special forces uses this in a device that's usually placed in walls, and that's all I know.
Hey I'm happy to you nearly at 61k I remember when I subbed at 15.7k when you still watched Russianbadger and I'm glad you got the recognition that you worked for
When he was talking about AP, HE, Incendiary he meant the belt is set up to fire an AP round then HE then a tracer round.
someone explained why they use to have logs to me before and it basically came down to something like its to help if they get stuck.
the smaw is a battle field ref, ppl jump out of planes / heli and use rocket launchers to kill the enemy, bonus show off points if they get back in the vehicle they jumped from.
just gonna throw this in, modern tank munitions in lets say the abrams has only two types of ammo in the cannon, AP and HE, and they are mutually exclusive, however, going back in history, the line gets blurred with APHE of various types.
also in an Abrams the full acronyms are APFSDS and HEAT. In a challenger that would be HESH
edit: to clarify, there may be more than just the two rounds, but its those two that are common
This video was just what I needed! I'm haivng such a BAD TIME in life, I just love cool videos like this! ^^
14:00 Just a little nitpick here (though you probably know this): a stealth aircraft isn't completely invisible to enemy radar. But it can get closer before being detected, and is also more difficult to lock on to with AA weapons.
"If we keep throwing troops at them, eventually they'll kill so many of us that they get a bit sad"
Can't remember wehre I got that from
29:55 That was a tank launched ATGM, which in game is mouse guided. It wasn't a normal tank shell like APFSDS, HEATFS, HE, APHE, APCBC, etc.
i love that you have watched almost all of my favorite youtubers.
37:00 Russia doesn't have enough engineering vehicles to recover tanks stuck in mud.
The log is there so you can throw it under the tracks to get some traction and at least have a chance of driving out yourself...
Man, its really been 3 years since that video, and that WT update. I started playing WT back in 2013-2014, way before MBTs were even a forethought for the gaijin team, which was focused on the current meta which was the IS-6, T-54, IS-3, Tiger II 105, Panther II, Leopard 1, Maus, Centurions, American T-29 30 32 and 34, M103, and such. Eventually they started to add more and more cold war tanks and such. It wasn't long until we had things like the MBT/KPZ 70, T-55AM, Conquer, and ATGM launchers. Oh and many nations were added like Italy, France, Sweden, China, and Israel. TBH, every major update that brought a bunch of new vehicles or a new nation has been years apart yet it feels like they were all yesterday. Crazy how time flies.
16:25 An old professional Starcraft player once gave a great thought experiment for strategy games: when you're really close to winning and you start thinking about all these extra plays to gain small advantages and counter the specific individual moves your opponent might plan to do, consider the following first: "Why shouldn't I just go f#$%ing kill them"?
It's like it's harder for people to see their own win conditions when they have an advantage, even though having an advantage is always worse than just winning now.
It's nice to hear that this though process is even valuable in the military. That usually means it's a good idea.
dude just for the fact that you posted the original video that you reacted to i have given you a like and a comment Thank you.
Why is he in the backrooms?
I’m watching Badger AND listening to a vet talk about the 4D chess that is military tactics? This is amazing. I love hearing how different attack groups are going to be useless against one type of defense but absolutely perfect for others
well, technically you can have a fragmentation round and be ap in the form of APHE (a common round in the russian tanks for wwii) but thats only a technicality as its primary thing was penetration followed by an explosion in the crew compartment, so it worked more in stages.
Fun Fact: Although it is possible to attach air-to-air missiles to a light attack helicopter, its primary use would be to attack other helicopters. Because of the limits of altitude and airspeed, helos are just woefully ineffective at dealing with fast moving fixed wind aircraft. Not to mention that air-to-air weapons are rarely used on helicopters because there is nothing a helicopter can do to another that a fighter aircraft and ground-to-air missiles can't do better.
You do know in all the mock duels the helcopters actually did very good VS jets. Most in a dog fight helcopter has the edge.
@@Andrewza1 It is most certainly true that a helo has the advantage in a dog fight if for no other reason than it can turn on a dime.
Love the content!
The log is for unditching when the tank gets stuck in mud or something like that. It is also called an Unditching Beam.
Hear a similar “he protec he attac” in the base near where I live except they say “it protec it attack, but most importantly it come back” lol
I'm not sure if someone else has commented on it but that clip where you commented on the ability for a tank shell to hit a helicopter wasn't an actual shell, he was using one of the Russian MBTs which have access to ATGMs that can be fired out of the cannon.
oh, and just to clarify: the vast _VAST_ majority of air combat takes place at subsonic speeds, specifically it takes place near whatever speed range the aircraft in question is most maneuverable at which at the moment at least is literally always going to be subsonic because 1: going supersonic includes a massive energy loss+upkeep and 2: air moves very differently above and below the speed of sound so most control surfaces don't work all that great once you start closing in on that pressure barrier and any inherently self-stabilizing geometry is going to be simultaneously super shaky and super hard to get to turn at all _and_ no longer produce lift in quite the same places/proportions.
in short air is basically a different material above and below the speed of sound, so making a supersonic plane basically means designing a multipurpose vehicle which means you're always going to have to make some choices.
having an interceptor that gets up and goes super fast has a purpose (...kinda) but even those will be designed to have their sweet spot for operations at a similar speed to most other non-prop aircraft, so there's surprisingly little difference in the cruising speeds between a boeing 747 and something like a mig.
I'd guess it's at least plausible that forward-edge control surfaces and inherently unstable aerodynamic structures made possible by having an automated system making adjustments in a couple microseconds might make supersonic fighters that actually fight at supersonic speeds a real thing at some point possibly soon but I am by no means an aeronautics engineer currently actively working on just that and thus able to actually weigh in on that thought.
The Huey and the Cobra are actually the same helicopter, but one is a troop transport, and the other is a attack helicopter, but if you look back into history, the Cobra is actually a heavily modified and altered huey. How can you tell? Look at the tail
That long straight shot with the tank, was a gun launched ATGM.

Yup, sounds like our guy
in regards to your question regarding the audio, i don't really care about audio quality as long as there's no disruptive sounds or lag between the video and the audio, but aside all that your audio setup in the video is just fine for me, again i don't really care about audio and im not very good at detecting the small differences in audio but it sounds crisp and clean to me
The log on the Russian tanks is probably a mobility device to help the tank if it ever gets stuck in mud. I vaguely remember reading something to that effect a few months ago.
The log is a traction aid for soft ground that they can chain to the tracks
omg, you fixed the audio crackling, please keep this setup!
Loving it sir, great audio I think, no worries here

Now I have no idea if anyone has mentioned this (as far as I can tell) but the log on the back of tanks has a ligament purpose. This dates back to WW1. The logs were used to get tanks unstuck when in mud. They crew would attach the log to the tank tracks and pretty much drive over them. Deep mud is the enemy of heavy tanks, the log would act as a solid point for the tracks to move over.
37:19 those wooden logs were used to unstuck a tank that got stuck in the mud
slap the log under the track and voila, you can move
From my understanding, the order of ammo type in the belt name is the order it will be shot, ie Armour piercing, high explosive, Incendiary, tracer, every fourth round is a then it goes back to being AP starting the cycle again
oh and for the log, most of siberia is frozen marshland. the log is a great way to put good traction in mud.
War thunder does have drop modeled for tank shells, that said the abrams can put its APFSD dart in a 2m square at 2 km
HEI (high explosive incendiary) is generally the round of choice for aircraft in the AO. So yes, you can have a “fragmentation” round with burning. In addition, all gun loads include tracer rounds, though the round count between each tracer varies aircraft to aircraft.
37:00 I think they had those logs for when they got stuck in mud. they could chain it to their tank tracks and pull it under their tank to drive over it and get unstuck again.
The log is for self recovery. Stuck in mud? wedge it under the track/tires and away you go.
37:02 I only know this because of a youtuber but that's an unditching log. You'd stuff this right in front of a bogged down tank in order to give the tank just a bit more grip.
Hello Mr mfgr I just found your channel this is my first video of yours and I'm immediately subscribed your content is great keep at it and you'll keep growing good luck in your TH-cam journey!
I took out a plane in a KV-1 at 2.2km in realistic battles.
Then domed a ju-87 strafing me a min later
One of my closest friends served on the Reagan, and he recounted one instance when one of the guys rotating into the scullery got about 1/3rd of the ship sick with salmonella because he didn’t wash the cutting board after preparing chicken.
And one other time where the admiral rerouted the entire flotilla because they ran out of coffee lol
I love how I see this rating and reviewing the tactics and actions of someone who is known for being chaotic, giving no shits, and doing everything for laughs lol it's great
The smaw is a reference to battlefield players. There's this thing where you get in a jet as a engineer? class then hunt other jets by jumping out SMAW them and get back in before you or the jet crash.
Founding Farthers: Okay so well make it legal for every one to own guns so they can fight a tyrannical government.
Government: Haha guess again.
I lost all interest and respect for this guy when he said that, at 1:00. Since WHEN does the militia (armed civilians) exist to SERVE the government?!
37:00 It's an unstucking log. You tie it to the tracks to pull it out of mud. It's very cheap and very effective.
My buddy said helicopter is a beer can with a fan on top.
My nephew is a Lt Col in the Army. Always flew Blackhawks. He is retiring out at like 45 years old.
Helicopters hovering can get 'dirty air' and crash. I didn't know that until a few years back.
Im a tanker in WT. Im also a good heli pilot in other games so Ill have to check out these in WT.
Very informing!
The log on a russian tank is used to put infront of the tank in case of mud of tought terrain to give moar traction. (Moar Badger)
you should do another one of these but with Badger's "Literal Morons in AH-64D Apache Longbow", fun getting some laughs from his videos (again) and learning something from a new channel to me. ^^
37:10 those logs are for getting the tank un stuck from the mud
